Lessee will be entitled to a rent credit for the total amount expended for site preparation (including the $5,000.00 allowance for engineering and contract administration), provided the maximum credit shall not exceed $85,000.00. At such time as Lessee has received full rental credit for the total cost of site preparation, the rent payments to the Canaveral Port Authority shall continue.

10. USE OF FUELS: No fuels, other than gasoline, diesel, and l.p. gas, will be allowed on the leased premises unless approved by the Lessor and incorporated in this lease by written amendment executed by the Lessor and Lessee.

11. HAZARDOUS WASTE: In the handling of any substances classified as hazardous materials or waste under any federal, state or local law, Lessee, its agents, invitees and any contractor employed by it, must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If Lessee or its agents causes the discharge or release of hazardous waste materials in violation of any federal, state or local law, and that discharge or release results in damage to the environment, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall restore the affected premises in accordance with acceptable engineering, scientific and construction principles and practices and in accordance with existing laws and regulations.

Lessee shall comply with the following procedure in the event removal of hazardous waste is required:

(b) During the term of this lease if the leased premises or adjacent premises are contaminated by any substances or their derivatives classified as hazardous waste handled by Lessee, the contamination will be presumed to have been caused by Lessee.

(c) Lessee understands and agrees that it is responsible for complete restoration of the premises and any area

7

it has contaminated before the expiration of this lease. If for any reason such restoration has not been completed before such expiration date, then Lessee is obligated to pay Lessor compensation during such restoration period as determined by the diminution in value of the fair market value of the land or the actual cost of restoration, whichever is greater.

(d) Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor for any damage or threat of damage to the environment or public health and safety which may arise as a result of each existing pollutant or contaminant. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor for any damage or threat of damage to the environment or public health and safety which may arise from the use of the property by Lessee during the term of this lease.

12. COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS: Lessee shall complete the construction of the proposed improvements within five (5) years. If not completed by that date, Lessor shall have the option to extend the time for completion; to cancel the Lease; or to continue the Lease.

13. INDEMNITY: The parties recognize that the Lessee’s use of the property involves operations that are potentially hazardous to other persons and property. In addition to the liability insurance required by this lease, the Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor from any and all liability, claims, damages, expenses (including court costs and attorney’s fees), and causes of action of every kind and nature resulting from the actions of the Lessee, its sub-lessees,

8

tenants, employees, agents, contractors, assigns, or successors relative to the operations conducted on the leased premises. The Lessee agreed to defend any and all legal actions which may be brought against the Lessor resulting from Lessee’s use of the leased premises. The Lessee agrees to satisfy, pay and discharge any and all judgments that may be entered against the Lessor resulting from Lessee’s use of the leased premises.

14. SUB-LEASE OR RENTAL: Lessee may not sub-lease or rent the leased premises without the written consent of the Lessor. As a condition of any sub-lease or rental to any legal entity involved in the preparation and processing of satellites on the leased premises, the Lessor will require an indemnity agreement containing provisions similar to paragraph 13. herein. If the sub-lessee or tenant is a subsidiary corporation, the Lessor will require indemnification from the parent corporation. The Lessor will have the sole discretion to determine the financial responsibility of any proposed sub-lessee or tenant and can withhold the consent provided herein if it determines the financial responsibility of any such entity or its parent corporation is inadequate.

15. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE: The additional terms of this Lease are set forth in the attached LEASE COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS and incorporated herein by reference.
